So why keep it open? As an independent, I read this thread and shake my head. Not only are some of the name-callers on here able to breed, but able to vote. It scares me to think people with such radical paranoid views could determine the election. I only hope the exact number far rights and far left cancel each other out and leave the rational people left. [/QUOTE]


Couldnt have said it better myself

Mitch,

I know you are for Bush. But even in you I detect a certain self doubt. No matter what you say, I will never believe that your views have not changed one bit since last Winter. Then you banned Jason from this site for expressing essentially the same views as nu2salt. Now you are, at least, willing to debate.

I think you (and a lot of other Republicans) secretly want Bush to lose. He and his cohorts cannot but embarrass any decent and free thinking person, Liberal or Conservative.

We have a lot of undecided voters on this site and elsewhere in the country. It is for their benefit that I am willing to debate you.

BTW, most undecided voters think that Edwards won the debate.

GREAT!!!

Val, I can accept your political views with open arms, but you’re dead wrong about that Jason guy. All he ever did was come on here and talk politics. It wasn’t until I kept reminding him to contribute some fishing stuff that he finally posted some underwater trout photos. However, he kept pushing the issue by starting new political threads without any fishing content. To make it worse, he went on, and on and on. He could never write a simple paragraph.

My record stands for itself. I’ve been more than fair with anyone I’ve ever removed from this site.

Dag nab it, Mitchie-poo! That's the straw that broke the camel's back! I don't give a fiddler's foo, and if it drowns me; I'm a gonna get you a fishin' report, if'n it kills me!

You've wounded me to the quick, Mein Heer. Vas ist lost? Why quibble about me being on the water, when everyone, in their right mind, knows that I WALK ON WATER! Dominic um biscom, my son. I shall forgive you your transgression this time, but next time, watch out for the lightning bolts!

PS, Kra-Cee, I was gonna post my 2 and a half bits, but , clearly, according to Mitchie-poo I'm no longer wanted here, , so, sniff, sniff, I'm gonna tuck me tail 'tween me legs, and, sniff, sniff, go fer a ride, and, sniff, sniff, ......ah....who the hell am I kiddin' here? I'll be back, 'till Mitchie-poo "Jasonizes" me! :p

(I'm waiting on the furnace man. I was going to go for a ride after, but fug it; I'll head down to the Sound for some Bluefishin'! Mitchie-poo, don't let anything happen to you, till I post my report; after that you can go water-sking with that Great White up in Taxachusetts, fer all I care! :p )

Yeah right !?!? What lunacy. I sure feel like my freedoms are being taken away.

How weak of an argument. I've yet to speak to ANYONE who feels like their freedoms are taken away. When they see people getting checked at an airport, I never see a single person P.O'd. All they want to know is whether or not they checked the Middle Eastern man in his mid'20's.

Next time you get on an airplane, try and notice that everyone looks at the Arab/Middle Eastern guy, wondering, Gee...I hope they checked that guy.


Freedom is NOT free. You seem to think that all we have to do is hold hands, sing songs, probably spoke weed, and the world will be a better place. I believe you are part of the "hate America first crowd".


This argument that we are giving up freedom and that there is no real threat of terrorism is down right Stupid. Simply idiotic and dangerous.

To those who are undecided, REMEMBER THIS: John Kerry didn't even vote for the Gulf War 1. It had ALL the elements he claims would be necessary to for him to support war. EVERY ONE, yet he still voted against it.
